Virtual Reality Porn Guide

Revolution ahead. Virtual reality is the next big technical thing. Everybody says so. And not all of them want to make money out of it. So what is it? What do you need for VR Porn? What are the best VR porn providers and VR glasses? Where else is VR used? Here it is.

What does it take to watch VR Porn?

The simple answer is: glasses and a reasonable computer. Or alternatively a smartphone and a VR application. Finally, a VR porn provider and a lockable door. When it comes to door and computer capacity, the best thing to do is to follow common sense and the system requirements. We have prepared a brief overview of VR glasses and VR porn providers.

You want to know what VR porn feels like, whether it is practicable to masturbate with VR glasses and why men look so crazy during sex? Read our VR porn self-experiment.

VR glasses – she’s coming at me!

There are different types of glasses. On the one hand applications that make your smartphone usable as VR glasses, on the other hand real VR glasses that need a connection to a PC. The third variant, namely VR glasses, which already have a computer integrated, should not play a role here, since they do not yet do so on the market.

Variant one, including for example the Google Cardboard and the Samsung Gear, offers a good to excellent introduction to the virtual porn cosmos. Here you put your smartphone into an application with two lenses through which you watch the selected movie.

Advantage: The installation is comparatively easy and for a first experience this cheaper option is ideal to test the VR waters for yourself.

Disadvantage: The quality depends on the resolution of the phone. On which, in turn, the immersion effect – the illusion of being part of the world that opens up in front of you – depends. If you don’t want to be distracted by pixel counting when masturbating, you can either use a better phone or genuine VR glasses like the HTC Vive or the Oculus Gear.

Cardboards are an ideal way to see if you like VR (Porn). All you need is an Android smartphone and free VR porn.

With these large-caliber technical gamers, it should again be said that the feeling of space, resolution and sound recording are excellent, but spending 500 to 900 euros on a masturbation tool throws an irritating light on the social life of the buyer.

Buying a HTC Vive for the mere consumption of porn is like greasing a butter sandwich with a samurai sword from the early Edo dynasty. It looks crazy good, but a simple knife would have done. And the sandwich would have tasted almost as good. In addition: high-end products like the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive need a good graphics card and a decent processor. Those who don’t have the necessary system requirements invest twice.

BaDoink VR CEO and VR expert Todd Glider says: “From a technical point of view, the HTC Vive is of course the best choice, and the Oculus is also very good. But for easier handling, the Samsung Gear VR is more than enough, and it delivers a reliable experience.” Reliable? Glider’s choice of words may not sound very enthusiastic at first, but anyone who had to restart the computer three times shortly before playing their selected VR porn knows how much “reliability” can be worth.
An overview of the most common VR glasses

Fisheyes staring at me – How are VR pornos shot?

In 180-degree rotations, two fisheye lenses film the scenario at eye distance. The individual shots of the lenses – it can be up to ten for 360-degree films – are mapped into a “dome”, a three-dimensional dome room. A software calculates the perspectives, which allows the viewer a virtual panoramic view.

The technology is more expensive, the production cheaper. VR porn is often shot in real time, there are no or hardly any cuts and only one perspective. The approximately 30-minute films usually consist of a continuous scene in which the camera harness is mounted at head height to the passive part. Accordingly, its mobility has clear limits, which is also reflected in the scenarios.

VR porn portals – All so naked here

There is meanwhile a multiplicity of offerers, who produce own content. If you want to access it, you have to pay. For one month about 20 Euro, the price goes down to five Euro per month, if you directly take out an annual subscription. If you want to look around first, you can book a day access. Depending on the portal, one to three new films are added each week. These are usually between ten and 30 minutes long.

As far as the content is concerned, the providers don’t take much. A large part of the content – what a miracle – photographs common male fantasies. This also means that in most films the body into which the viewer slips is that of a man. Sites like Virtual Real Porn and WankzVR offer videos from a female perspective. There too, of course, they are outnumbered. By far. A category index – the target audience knows it from youporn or xnxx – sorted from anal to milf to voyeur. Sex scenarios off the porn mainstream find fetish friends for example on KinkVR.

VR Porn doesn’t take on any flights of fancy when it comes to scenarios compared to conventional porn.

VR Porn does not measure itself against conventional porn in terms of scenarios.

The standard panorama is 180 degrees. If you turn your head too far to the left or right, you will see black. There are also videos with 220 and 360 degrees, albeit a few. The most important thing, whether from the perspective of a man or a woman, takes place in front of you anyway. At least I haven’t yet come across the VR porn scenario in which I was taken from behind in a woman’s body and had to look at a barren wall. 180 degrees is enough.

Of course, the providers differ in points such as operability, functionality or filter options. Can I choose between a first-person and voyeur perspective, can I stream and download, are all common glasses supported, do I get a free cardboard when I sign a contract, do I need a special player or player app to play the films, or is a generic VR player sufficient? You can find all this information on the respective VR portals.

VR without porn: Where is virtual reality used?

VR technology is already used today in various areas of work and life, even outside of gaming. Apartment visits in other cities can be done via virtual tours, architectural offices can be designed using walk-in virtual models and programs to support training and education in high-performance sports, surgery or parachuting.

The catch in most cases: VR is only used where money is available. The hardware costs large bills. It doesn’t only need proper glasses. A reasonably powerful computer with a showy graphics card is a basic requirement. Not to mention the software to be programmed.

Due to the possibility of putting oneself in other people’s shoes, VR is also regarded as an “empathy machine”, a motor of compassion, an amplifier of empathy. This goes far beyond my enlightening experience as a man to “experience” sex from a woman’s perspective.

Facebook focuses – not surprisingly – on social interaction. Since the company bought Oculus VR, more than 250 million US dollars have been invested in technology. In virtual meeting rooms, people from different corners of the world meet and communicate with each other. One example of this is the Facebook Spaces app.

Outlook – Where is VR Porn heading?

In the porn sector, the VR market has grown rapidly over the past three years. The wish of the entire VR industry for pornography to promote the establishment of the new technology – as was the case with the VHS almost 40 years ago – has not (yet) been fulfilled. The breakthrough is yet to come. The technology is far from exhausted on the producer side and not yet low enough on the consumer side to find broad sales. However, it is unlikely that VR’s ultimate triumph will fail given its abundant potential.

The VR technology still has plenty of air to the top. This is not only true for the porn market. Michael Abrash, VR guru from the Facebook team, names the following to-do’s among others: Increasing the pixel density (a resolution of sometime 4K x 4K, i.e. Ultra High Definition), expanding the field of view and natural focusing. All visual components that I can understand. My eyes hurt after 25 minutes of looking – I always need a little longer.

In addition, the VR porn industry is aiming for two decisive developments:

1. (Inter-)activity. It should be possible to design the experience. The films marked as “interactive” on Virtual Real Porn show disturbers who open up two options, for example: Should we continue with bubbles or doggy style?

The goal of interactivity goes hand in hand with releasing the viewer’s perspective from its rigid passivity. Unfortunately, this is just as much a dream of the future as the mixture of virtual and augmented reality, where you can virtually bring the porn actor of your choice into your bedroom thanks to green screens for a selected scene.

Real interactivity, in which the viewer communicates with the virtual sexual partner and can influence the event at any time, is not foreseeable, at least for the next few years.

2. more and more senses should be played on. In addition to the binaural sound and the visual scenario, smells are also conceivable. A low-threshold implementation rather not.

Teledildonics are a possibility to serve another sensory perception. These sex toys, for example the Kiiroo Onyx (for men) and the Kiiroo Pearl (for women), can be synchronized with the actors’ movements via Bluetooth. Virtual Real Porn provides this synchronisation to its films. Everything seems to result in the VR experience imitating real sex more and more authentically.

But does that work?

Is this the future of masturbation? Or even sex? Will we increasingly satisfy our lust in virtual space? We tested VR Porn on unsuspecting passers-by and asked ourselves: How does it work? Is that practicable? And how does sex feel in the body of the opposite sex? Glasses on, pants off. A VR porn self-experiment.

VR Porn – What is he doing on me?

A man penetrates me. Again and again he puts a lot of centimeters in me. He looks tense with a pinch of rage, and I don’t know why. Occasionally he mixes a somewhat too attentive smile. What have I done wrong – except that I am in a woman’s body?

While the lavishly tattooed ex-Knasti is ploughing and sweating on me, calling me “baby” with a softness that is inappropriate for his appearance and constantly maintaining eye contact, suddenly an insight comes to me: He does it for himself. I don’t play a role here at all. He is working on something. That his mother always rationed praise and love quite narrowly. Or that the younger brother was getting more and more of the cake of parental favor. Sex as comfort and therapy. What poor creatures, I think, men are.

When this fatal spiral of knowledge threatens to encircle me, when I imagine unpleasantly touched what a sight women are exposed to during sex with me, I take off my VR headset and headphones. This becomes too personal for me, dear virtual reality!

What makes VR Porn special?

Observing sex from the perspective of the opposite sex – VR porn makes it possible. They let you slip into the body of a porn actor and see everything out of his or her eyes.

Through the glasses you look at a 180- to 360-degree scenario and can decide what to focus your attention on within this panorama. Wherever one turns the head with the glasses, there, also the view turns within the scenario under the glasses. The immersion effect – the feeling of immersing yourself in the world that opens in front of you – is intended to make the experience feel more real and intense than conventional pornography.

But does it really? How far is the technology? What are the possibilities? How does VR Porn compare to popular porn? Is it more immediate? Do you feel like you’re right in the middle of it? And why do men look so crazy during sex?

The VR porn self-experiment

Masturbation is for the most part an intimate and unadorned process with an ideal relationship between benefit and effort. That’s probably why it’s so popular with men. My suspicion after the first researches: VR Porn shifts this relationship to the unkind. A forest full of question marks opens in front of me as an unfamiliar one: VR porn provider? Streaming or Download? Graphics card? Configuration? VR glasses? VR-App? VR-Player? My God, I just want to masturbate!

You want to know which are the best VR glasses and VR porn platforms? You can find out in our VR-Porn-Guide.

My first steps into the virtual future

I subscribe for one month to the Spanish portal Virtual Real Porn. Cost: 20 Euro. Large selection, good production quality, clear page. So the VR-Porn-Flurfunk. Let’s have a look.

A pair of glasses is also needed. An impartial company offers me the VR glasses flagship, the HTC Vive, on loan for test purposes. The gaming glasses. Only bad people reject immoral offers. I bridge the time until Vive arrives with its opposite: a Google Cardboard, a box of lenses that upgrades my smartphone to VR glasses.

On the computer I roam through my new homepage Virtual Real Porn, familiarize myself with navigation and filters, let me sort the movies by rating and play some in 2D. Then I switch to my Android smartphone, download the three previously chosen ones as well as the necessary VirtualRePlayer and dive into the VR porn world for the first time – player opened, cardboard put on, movie virtually selected.

I haven’t even orientated myself in the room yet – a small room with a bed in which my body lies, a window on the right, a wardrobe room on the left – there are already three ladies sitting on my bed. And they discuss what they should do with me. “You don’t have to say anything. We’re here to please,” says the beguiling gang leader as she puts my penis in the air. It’s a good start into my new virtual life.

More about the VR-Porn “Plots” later. What strikes me at this point: As a VR newcomer, the cardboard in combination with a good VR porn already provides me with sufficient viewing and discovery value. The quality may be low, it pixelates me, but as a first experience I find it great.

VR Porn – It starts! No, but not

Then there it is, my gateway to the future of pleasurable handiwork. The HTC Vive, a black Klopper. I put it on and carry 564 grams more weight on my head. Now the device wants to be installed in a unique first equipment. And here begins the annoyance.

In a nutshell: With a lot of virtual spit and real patience I get the glasses ready to go. Among other things, I measured the ground zero point and my radius of action with the Vive controllers and think again: I just want to masturbate!

I make what I think is a stylistically confident selection. And download 20 gigabytes of visual material in order to avoid the films faltering in streaming. During the day. At work. When I finally want to dedicate myself to my evening research with anticipation in my pants, I have to realize that the technology does not allow me the experience. It doesn’t play the movies! I slacken – internally as well as externally.

It turns out: I lost the configuration files. Without them it doesn’t read the movies. I straighten my mishap and unbutton my trousers again. Did I already say that I only want to masturbate?

VR Porn – I lock the door

Ideally, VR porn weave the viewer into a cocoon of visual and acoustic impressions that eradicates most of the external stimuli. This also means: VR masturbators at work are a picture for the gods. Simply delicious. This knowledge contains a vague instruction for action; for my part, I have barricaded my room door. And I live alone.
